"Your Majesty, you should take good care of yourself. I heard that you have been lying in bed for two days. If you don't get up soon, people will suspect something is wrong."

"That's all for you." The king sat up shakily, holding onto the bed.

"I'm glad my father still has the strength. If Carlos comes, it's better for me to know the situation here. After all, he and that Tia are good friends. If they meet up, it will be difficult for me to do anything."

As Austin spoke, the black mist in his hand gathered like a silent threat.

When the king saw the black mist, he didn't know what he was thinking. He shrank back and smiled ingratiatingly.

"Of course. If I have any news, I will definitely tell you."

"That's good. I won't disturb your rest here." Austin said and hurried to the next place.

The king breathed a sigh of relief only after he was sure that the person had left. He leaned weakly against the bedside table, gasping for breath.

"Why are you so scared of Austin?"

When the king heard the voice, he raised his head suddenly and looked around.

"come out!"

Carlos ran out from a secret passage on the side. He originally just wanted to ask his father why he did that, but he didn't expect that he was hiding in the secret passage and happened to see this scene.

"Why are you here? Why are you sneaking out? Weren't you put on house arrest? Why are you sneaking out again?!"

The king became more and more excited as he spoke, and he even started coughing uncontrollably.

Even though Carlos was slow to notice, he realized that something was wrong. "What on earth happened?"

The king coughed violently and could not speak.

Carlos also quickly brought a glass of water to the king to help him calm down.

The king drank a few sips of water from the cup, and then took a while to catch his breath before he recovered.

"Don't ask questions that you shouldn't know. Go back to your room and stay there. You are not allowed to come out without my order!"

The king shouted harshly, his expression extremely serious.

"What exactly happened? Did Austin threaten you?" Carlos recalled Austin's arrogant look just now, and felt more and more that something was wrong.

"That's enough. Don't interrupt me when I tell you it's not your place to ask! If you keep asking, I'll call someone over!"

As the king spoke, he pointed to the door and told Carlos to go back quickly.

Carlos knew something was wrong and was unwilling to leave.

"What exactly happened? What's there to be afraid of Austin? And where did you keep the little girl that Tia and the others brought back from their mission?"

"Why are you asking that little girl?" The king keenly sensed that something was wrong.

"Tia also told us about the little girl's abilities and how dangerous she was. There's a high probability that she has been taken to the battlefield!"

Carlos looked at the king with his eyes wide open. He couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about the consequences of this matter.

"How dare he? How dare he!" The king did not expect Austin to go so far.

"Did Austin do this?"

Carlos also guessed from the king's tone that this matter was not ordered by him, but he still had more things he wanted to investigate.

"Tell me where that little girl was imprisoned before, and I'll go see if she's still there!"

The king sighed helplessly, as if he was unwilling to hear such news.

"Since you asked, he must have been taken away. This person was taken away by Austin the moment he was brought to the palace. As for other matters, this is not your business. I will talk to him later. Just go back to your room and don't cause any more trouble!"

"What's the matter that you don't want me to know?" Carlos stood up from the bedside. "Ever since this Austin came, many things have gone wrong. What is there to be afraid of about him?"

"What do you know? You know nothing! You're just being so self-righteous and causing me trouble. Get out of here right now!"

The king became more and more angry as he spoke, and even wanted to get up from the bed to chase the man away.

"If you don't want to tell me, I will investigate it myself. I will know the truth one day!" Carlos said and ran out of the secret passage again, leaving here without looking back.

The king held his forehead with his hand and leaned weakly against the headboard, feeling his heart still beating violently.

"Hey!"

Since Carlos has decided to escape, he will not go back easily, but the most important question now is where to hide.

Now the entire palace is no longer safe, he must leave here as soon as possible, but where to go?

Now Joel's place is under strict guard because they want to capture Tia, so it is definitely not convenient for him to go in.

Syrio is occasionally suppressed by the Pope in the church, so it is not a good thing to go there.

Zoltan has been very busy dealing with diplomatic issues with neighboring countries recently, so he certainly cannot go to the Senate.

The college has a complicated staff and it's not convenient to hide.

The people who were searching for them in Tia hadn't even stopped yet, so it wouldn't be appropriate for them to go there and only add to their burden.

Carlos thought about it and found that only Jurgen might have a better hiding place.

He first sent a message to Jurgen, "I have escaped from the palace. Now I have nowhere to hide. I will hide at your place first."

Carlos waited for a few minutes but didn't see any reply from Jurgen, so he sent a message to Tia first.

"Tia, I have escaped from the palace now. Austin has taken control of the palace. I don't know what he's afraid of and won't tell me. I should go hide with Jurgen now."

Although Tia had some guesses about this matter, she still found it unbelievable when she actually received the news.

Could it be that Austin used the power of the evil god to threaten the king?

But most of the evil god's power has been weakened by them now, and there are so many nobles with magic power, so this is not the result!

Then why didn't the king dare to unite with other nobles to resist?

Tia couldn't figure out the key point. "Okay, I understand. We'll continue to communicate when there's news."

"Okay." Carlos nodded and was about to say a few more words, but Jurgen replied, "I still have the hiding place issue to sort out, so I won't be messaging you for now."

"Okay, let's talk after you've solved it." Tia nodded.

I didn't expect that two people were being arrested now...
